Novak Djokovic is about to secure his eighth year-end No. 1 finish in tennis. He reached this milestone by winning his 40th Masters 1000 title in Paris, which extended his lead over Carlos Alcaraz in the race for the top spot. Djokovic currently has 9,945 points compared to Alcaraz’s 8,455 points. The only way Alcaraz can become year-end No. 1 is if he wins the ATP Finals undefeated and Djokovic doesn’t win a single match at the event. Djokovic already holds the record for the most ATP year-end No. 1 finishes, with a total of seven. In other news, Grigor Dimitrov has climbed up the rankings to No. 14 after an impressive performance in Paris, where he defeated top-ranked players Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas. This is Dimitrov’s first time in the top 15 in five years. He is now motivated to continue his climb and make another run at the top 10 in the upcoming tournaments.
